Like Schoolhouse Rock, Marlo Thomas's 1970s children's TV show, Free to Be… You and Me met with immediate success and became a treasured piece of entertainment over the years. Based on her award-winning album of songs, skits, and comedy, Free to Be explores the infinite possibilities of childhood. Fans know most of the skits in the 45-minute show verbatim, and it's easy to see why right from the beginning with an infectious title track followed by a puppet sketch featuring Thomas and Mel Brooks as newborns. Top talent appears on both sides of the camera, including Alan Alda who directs and performs a cartoon about a boy who wants a doll. However, the presentation does show its age at times: a teenage Michael Jackson singing (with Roberta Flack) on how he's not going to change when he grows up. For all ages. --Doug Thomas

I first saw this video as an 8 year old in Mrs. Beemis' 4th grad class (1979), and haven't thought about it much since. I recently saw the target commercial using the title song and was able to sing every word. I guess this movie affected me more than I know. It is pretty brilliant and the lessons are universal. So glad to see it is still available to today's generation!
 A classic - very good service July 18, 2010

I used to use this video when teaching kindergarten, and loved it then, when it first came out. It seems a bit dated now.

I like the content/message, but would appreciate seeing more diversity in the characters. I think I will stick with the audio version. May choose to use dvd as a tool to discuss the lack of minorities in visual arts media.
Love it! March 10, 2010

I am glad that this program was converted to DVD. My 5 year old loves it and I remember it growing up. We need more programs like this around. My son also loves the fact that a young Michael Jackson was in the program as well.
